Pottbville, Feb. 13. The meeting of the Schuylkill Couuty Press Association hero to day may throw somo light on the recent scandal whlcli was precipitated by the at tempted gouge upon the Controller and County Commissioners. The afsooiation will make a mistake if it docs not take somo action in tho matter and should havo it fully investigated. Tho association bears the same relation to the members of tho newspaper fraternity that the Bar asso ciation bears to tho members or the legal fra ternity and should not allow a statu to re main upon its members. The statement of tho JirpuOlicnn that "fifty Schuylkill countlans who pay taxes were deprived of two weeks employment by tho illegal act ol tho Commissioners in breaking the ballot printing contract with tlio Ashland printers, aim taking it to Allen town" is looked upon here as a ridiculous assertion. It is quite difficult to fee logio in tho argument that the -county Mucials should pay $S,000 for work worth loss than fr!,000 for the sake of giving fifty, or even a hun dred, taxpayers work for two weeks, or a month. It has transpired that the Pottavillo printing syndicate attempted another stand and deliver scheme ou Friday last, and was thwarted. It was in connection with tho county statoment, which had to be published on Saturday, lho syndicate declined to un dcrtake it under a certain figure, but the Com missiouers got out of tho hole by sending it to a paper north of the Broad mountain, m somo more taxpayers of l'ottsville lost a job. It has leaked out that tho syndicate is at an actual loss to route extent on account of its failure to secure ihe ballot contract. Two of the offices had all their projiirtion of the matter in typo aud another had expended about $100 for extra material Tho coming borough election will not ho as spirited and interesting as was exweted 'lho Republican ticket will overcome all opposition without trouble. Walter Stevenson, the incroantilo appraiser, is hard at work on bis appraisment Hit. He finds that a number of peoplo have gonoout or business since last year. Councilman Towuseud is to to allowed to resign and the charges against lilm will be withdrawn if he makos good the amount he Is charged with misappropriating. Thoro is no truth in tho rumor that ex Clerk of the Court Daiiiel Duffy aspires to the Congressional nomination. He has built up a profitable business in the Instir unco line and expects to stay there. It is hinted that James Grant, of Shenan doah, is to be pushed forward for the Seii' atorial nomination in tbo Thirtieth district We have here two excellent caterers in "Stixy" Michael and Zimmerman. They furnish a meal for 10 cents that would cost a dollar or moro at other places. Somo people wonuer now tney do it, nui tney do. There are many peoplo here who heartily endorse the Uehald's recommeudatlun of W. II. Herring, of Palo Alto, for the Kepublican nomination for the legislature in this district. Ho is well known throughout this section as an industrious aud mlnstak ing young man and would make an excellent representative. Prothonotary Deegan is winning golden opinions from everyone having business with mm. lie Is tbo same Deegan yesterday, to day, to-morrow and sume other day.

Would we Had moro Deegan's and leea small potatoes. Saturday last there was a gathering of the leading north of tho Jlroad mountain noil tlciaus at Mahanoy City, and from hints thrown out It is said that it had an important bearlug upon the personnel ot tbo n- tt l.e publican county ticket. The proceedings were of a mysterious nature and as none of tun participants nave given anything away x'l Is conjecture Peck' Had Hoy." That it is extremely funny there cannot bo two opinions.

Anthony Alilltus, a Hungarian resident uf of tho First ward, successfully played tho part uf a detective yesterday by tracing a thief and scouring the return of tho stolen property without asking tho assistance of officers of tbo law until tho very last mo ncut, and then only to make the arrest. Michael Pockatures boarded in the same house with Anthony and the (orrnor appro printed tho latter's pair of shoes and View ulster. After putting them on and applying a new strip of court plaster to a brulw on his nose, Michael If ft tho boarding House. Anthony can detect a loss as quick a any oidinary man andthlsouodid not escapo him. He started out after Michael with tho piece of courtplaster as a clue. At tho Lehigh depot ho learned that a man with a new paten on nis noso hail purchased a ticket tor .Mahanoy Cily. Anthony left Shenandoth on tho uoxt train and upon arriving at the former town ho visited sovcral saloons In quest of his man. At ono placebo learnod that Peter (Salinskyshad piloted a blgschoonor over tho bar to a strange man wearing a new Ulster and a patch on his noso, but tho stranger had disappeared. Jfot to bo discouraged An thony visited several saloons until ho finally observed an overcoat that soemed to bo a counterpart of tho missing on. It covered tho burly form of a man standing at the bir unloading a schooner. Anthony was red in tho neck with auger. Tho man in the over- coat drained his glass aud then turned tho patched nose towards Anthony. Tlio recog nition was mutual. Mlko slipped tnrongn Anthony's grasp and out of the saloon. Fivo other men joined in tho chafe and fell over Mike, who had slipped and fallen to the pave ment. Tho fugitive was turned over to an officer, who arraigned him before Jusllco O'Brien. The overcoat was restored to An thony, but as the Justice had uo shoes to loan or sell ho concluded to allow Mike to wear Anthony's until his arrival at the Pottsvillo jail. When Anthony returned to town yesterday he said "Dat feller him no good. Him no wear patch ou uobo uoxt time." BROKE HIS NEOK. Fredorlck Daiuin Miuli Iiipt.ut IXath In the IMllieit.

PilU.ADKl.riHA, Feb. 12 To-day was Shen andoah day at tho Supremo Court liore aud a number of cases iu which Shenandoah peoplo and tho borough, officially, weto interested wero disposed ot. Three of tho water cases wcro disposed of for all time. They wore tho case of the Citizens vs. tho liorough of Shenandoah and tho two casce of tho Citizens vs. nahlo et. al. These thtco oases wero nof pfosned ou the ground that tho counsel for tho appellants had prepared no paper books and had done nothing towards presenting tho case iu the Supreme Court and according to tho rules of tlio court tlionol pros wa mured. This finally disposes of the injunction suits instituted in July, 1801. by citizens of Shen andoah aud by tho Shenandoah Water aud Gas Company, iu which Injunctions were prayed lor to restrain tho liorough Council from entering into a contract for the const rue tion of tbe public water works. The annli cation for theiuiuiictlnn wiu IiammI minn Mm allegation that lho borough did not hold a valid election to empower the liorough Coun cil to incur an indebtedness necessary to raise money for tho construction of tho mirks. When tho cases wcro tried In tbo lower court they weio urged with a groat deal of vigor and it is a query why they should bo allowed to go bv default in tho hleltor court S. O. If. Hollopctcr, Eiq., of town, whs promptly iu attendance yesterday at the ouprcmo uourt as ono ol the counsel lor tho water company, but tho paper books, the preparation uf which was assigned to 1). C llcnning, Esq., of Poitsvillc, not being prepared, of course wcro not filed of record with Prothonotary Green, of tho Supremo Court, when Mr Hollopctcr anived there. Another Shenandoah caio disposed of by the samu c.prt was the Stnnma license an puil. J. 11. Pomroy, T. Jt lieddall and J. W Ityan, Iqi , wero the attorney for api-el lants, Snmma's creditor, ind M. U. IIimW Ehi , appeared fur Mrs. lireen, the appellee'. The counsel for the apollnuts in this cae aioo nan prepariu no paper books and on ap plication ol tho a'tornny for tho appellee vviiici misul-u oiuireii uirtctttti that it not pros be eutored. It is regretted that thu case was not fnrcjwl to argument in tho Supreme Court, as it raised a questi n the disposition of which by the Supreme Court wou'il ho of Interest to the saloonkeepers and licensed property owu eis throughout Schuylkill county. It will bo renumbered that Paul Summa, who was Mrs. Ilreon's tenant iu the South Main atreot property, skipped the town and Mm. linen went into court iinil, through her counsel, aakfd for a trat-i i uf Sumtna'a license. Of couree, SumuW consent was not secured. The i nurt inado Ihe transfer, which aa opposed by creditors of Summa, who claimed that they had au interest in the license. These creditors were Messrs. Sol. HaaU, Christ Sehmidt aud Lewis Kline. They appealed from tho ruling of the court and can ieil the case to the Supremo Court. Even alter this aprwal had been taken. Mrs. lireen's counsel again went iuto court and had tho lltcnso transferred to Leo Dunow- ski, who is now in possession of the place. Have the crtditorsof a licem-e any interest iu tho licence and an the Court of Quarter Sessions direct tho transfer of the licinao without tlio co- sent ol the licensee is a mn tlnn that is still open, o far as the Supremo Court is conceimd. Tho case of the County of Sohuvlklll vi. ex County Solicitor James Miuoguo was also uispoteu oi ny me supreme Uourt yesteiday. It was argued by P. M. Dunn. Man sol for Mr. Miuogue, aud Couuty Solicitor uincn. Mr Mlnogue was surcharged by the County Auditors in lbfltf wilb the sum of $-175 which they alleged was Illegally pa d to him for counsel fees when he was County Solicitor. Under the law the ( eiluty Solicitor is not a county officer. He is simply au appointee ot the County Corniaiaaiouera, and therefore tbe Couuty.Aiidllors could uot audit bis sccount, as ho had uono with the c unty, aud conse quently he was not iu a position to be sur charged with any moneys by the and I tors. 'I his was the ground of contention by Mr. Dunn From the questions arked by the court of counsel iu the case it is very evidout that Mr. Minogue will win and that the decision of the Hehuylkill couuty court refusing to can cel the judgment entered against Mr. Mln ogue will be reverted. The decision iu Ibis ca-e will also settle the question of surcharges made against ex County Solicitor Minogue last December, which ate now before the Schuylkill cjurt. A BAD KGG.
